A simple extraction is performed on a tooth that is above the gumline and can be seen in the mouth. You will receive a local anesthetic, which numbs the area around your tooth so you’ll feel only pressure, not pain, during the procedure.These teeth can typically be removed easily by loosening the tooth with a lifter or elevator and pulled out with forceps. This is a quick process, and the healing time is usually pretty fast.
Pain following extraction
Although different people heal at different speeds, but you’ll most likely have tenderness and discomfort in the area of the extraction for a 1–3 days.
You may experience tightness and stiffness to your jaw and joint because of keeping your mouth open during the procedure.
